Setting up a new home studio

I’m taking a break from demo recordings as I’m currently moving from a place to another and setting up my new home studio (picture above). I need to get back all my gear (Preamp, mics, Rme Multiface, Adam A7 and keyboards) and then I’ll start to work again on the demo process. It was great to see David after Transatlantic’sRead more

TFWSD arrived on march 6th

I finally received The Field Where She Died yesterday from Germany. 20 boxes of 25 copies which will be available in the shop today. The album – artwork and printing – looks really great and sounds better than the mp3 version for sure!

Recording some mandolin

I received a new instrument yesterday: A Portuguese mandolin! I love how new instruments smells the wood so good! Made of a solid spruce top, maple sides, back and neck, it sounds how I imagined it, it gives this warm “serenade” atmosphere…

Listening to a first mix

So I just ordered a new and better one (Samsung F1 – 250 Go/16 Mo) and I takeRead more
